After an early career as an athlete winning a medal at the 1936 Olympics in Berlin, Meagher became a school teacher, and in 1949 began taking classes at the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design. She studied under Ruth Wainwright and Bruce Hunter at the Nova Scotia College of Art in Halifax; later she spent summers in Toronto at the Danforth Technical School under D. Rosser and the Doon School of Fine Art under J. Hall and L.A.C. Panton. In 1954 and 1957, she took summer art courses studying under Hans Hoffman in Provincetown in 1954 and 1957.
